Mr. Bud uttered, "Now I don't think I know anymore how to sharpen an edge that dull. May have to get out the sandpaper like EOU did."
That's funny. I remember when you first started posting here you were producing 250 edges! Now you have to "learn" how to do what you already knew how to do!
I know what you mean! I have no idea how to sharpen a blade to 300! Without even trying all my edges turn out @ 130-150.
I'm thinking what I need to do is sharpen, dull with sandpaper and then do a light sharpening with 150 grit abrasive to reapply tooth. Who knows, we may find that for a general purpose blade, a 350-400 really toothy edge is optimal. Anything goes at this point. Geeze! This is a lot of work, and that's not fair. Nobody ever told me I'd have to work.
